A Light in the Longing - Week 4
Most of us are waiting for life to slow down before we go all-in with God. But the shepherds in Luke 2:8–20 didn’t have a pause button—and neither do we. When angels announced the birth of Jesus, they faced a costly decision: protect their livelihood or pursue the glory God was revealing. They chose to leave everything behind, encounter Christ, and then return changed. This Advent message explores how we can experience God’s transcendent glory in the middle of ordinary, busy lives. By walking away from what defines us and then returning to leverage everything for God’s kingdom, we discover that true glory isn’t found in waiting—it’s found in worshipful obedience.

A Light in the Longing - Week 2
What do you do when you sense God leading you into something that feels impossible—too overwhelming, too costly, or too confusing to imagine? In Luke 1:26–56, Mary faces a calling that upends her plans and threatens her reputation, yet she models a courageous faith rooted in God’s character. This message explores how we can trust that God is already at work, ask honest questions, seek spiritual encouragement, and remember his faithfulness when the path ahead feels unclear. As we step into Advent, this story invites us to follow God with the same humility, courage, and hope that Mary displayed.
